Opinions are like buttholes.....everybody has one.

Personally, I wouldn't go after a 318. The 273 is a better engine for better performance.

Thanks, everyone. Ernie is doing a lot of the mechanical work, which means that when I get the car back, I'll be learning how to do the body work. I'm ok with that. The car has zero floor/trunk pan rot and no panel rot at all. I'm getting off easy with this project!

Last month my brother, Ernie brought my Cuda to Calgary where he lives. He volunteered to get the car running and driveable as long as I pay for the parts and supplies. Here are some pics and a video. Here's the car on the trailer Click on the link below to see the car running. Log In or...

Good points, everyone. I'll look into it all. Thanks!

I know that this an A body forum, but I need advice about my daily driver, which is a '93 Chrylser Dynasty (it's a Canadian version of the Dodge, but basically the same car). The problem is that it overheats at low speeds, like under 30mph. I put in a new summer thermostat, but I still have the...

Ok, thanks. I have considered doing a tandem master cylinder replacement. The old one looks a bit archaic.

I want to check my brakes on my '66 Barracuda. The level is very low in the MC and the brakes are spongy. What I plan to do is inspect the brakes, and if they are still good, keep them, but I feel that it would be a good idea to flush the system before adding and bleeding through new fluid...

A medical student was in the morgue one day after classes getting a little practice in before the final exams. He went over to a table where a body was lying face down. He removed the sheet over the body and to his surprise he found a cork in the corpse's rectum. Figuring this was fairly...

So sorry to hear about that. I feel for you, bro. My thoughts and prayers for your grief. Please stay in touch.

I still say it's best to remove the left engine mount and jack up the engine, that will make the top nut easier to get at, and the starter will drop out easier.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Mine is 1.5

I have another question. Is the pump plunger supposed to move freely? Dumb question, I know, but it doesn't move, and if it's supposed to, can I free it up with WD40?

This one is for my '66 Barracuda with the 273 engine. The number at the base is 1-1435 there is another number on the side of the float bowl that reads 0-1781 and another number at the back left corner of the carb which reads 6-1758

OK, I know this is a 2BBL BBD, but is it a 161 model? I googled images for mine, and they look identical to the one in the photo. Unfortunately, someone removed the tag before I bought the car that it's on. This is a pic of the actual one I'm asking about.

Yesterday my brother and I worked on getting my old cuda started. After mucking around with the points, she finally chugged and ran, BUT the starter kept turning while the engine chugged. We thought there was something wrong with the starter, but after I crawled under the car, I discovered that...

Good info. Thanks!

Wow! I didn't know that Mopars held that much interchangeability through the years , thanks!

Just so I know, how late model should it be in case I need one?

Thanks for the heads up on the rebuilt. I might snag a Dakota one as a spare.

Thanks for that. I was fooling around a bit under the hood with the key turned on.

Hmmm, if I had know that, I would have opted for one. Oh well, my new starter is one of those clunky old style ones, but it's brand new and good to go for a long time.

I assume the Dakota has a small starter.

You can only make short turns with the ratchet, but will work if you are patient.

For those who own or will own the early Barracudas with the 273 engine, I want to share my own experience and give advice on the starter removal and installation. Those suckers are extremely difficult to remove because they are caged in between the torsion bar and and exhaust. After a bit of...

Ok, I feel better now. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Yesterday I put a new coil in my Barracuda. It's hooked up properly for sure, but it feels warm when I put my hand around it. Is that normal?

I could get mine re-cored, but it would cost me $500 No way I'll pay that much.

I need to replace the rad in my '66 Barracuda with the 273 engine. I saw two cars that MIGHT have the rad that I need, but I need to be sure. one car is a '65 Canadian Valiant with a 225, and the other is a 70's Aspen with probably a 360. I could take a 15 minute drive out to the wrecker's with...
